CHATTswoRTH, Ill, Aug. 1.-THE
Niagara Falls excursion train on the
Toledo, Peoria and Warsaw Railway.
consisting of seventeen coaches and
sleepers crowded with passengers
from Peoria H., and points along
the line, was wrecked two and one
half miles east of Chattsworth by
running into burning culvert. The
two engines were completely wrecked,
together with ten coaches and bag
gage cars.
Two fremen and another engineer
escaped serious injury. The ten cars
We're piled on top Of two engines,
being telescoped and piled across
and on top Of each other. 1t is mir
accle bow any escaped, as the
coaches and engines do not occupy
over two car lengths of track and all
on top of the roadbed. In one coach
not person escaped. In another
only a lady.
Ninety dead have been taken out
up to this time and two hundred
wounded are now in Chattswortb. in
the town hall, school house. depot.
etc. At Piper City there are a large
number of wounded-over fifty.
The dead are estimated at over one
hundred. The cars caught fire. but
the flames were put ont by trainrnen
and passengers.
1t was a dry run 10 feet deem. Is

locomotive saw the light ofthe burn
ing bridge but was to near to .top.
The first engine leaped the Is feet
and struck the track on the other
side. His sireman had leaped OF
and was saved The engineer ofthe
second locomotive was killed. the
fireman was seriously injured. The
horrors of the scene cannot be des-
crbed- About 400 people were in
Iured- Some became crazy. and two
men who were injured deliberately
ended their misery by shooting. each
bullet into hi. head. Heads. limbs,
and 9th er parts Of the human BODY
were ghastly sights that the eve Eel
upon IN every part of the wreck. How
the bridge came TO be on IRE is n OF

that the samples were coming from
the wrong end of the line, and they
saw the point and furnished me with
samples From that year dates the
custom Of carrying samples by drum

to represent them and drum up trade
but was the first person in the coun-

agent ever carried a sample box, bag,

its importance. Mr.. Wolff has been
constantly on the road ever since his
